What'S up, everybody? It's Matthew with the love life podcast. So excited to have you here. I believe today's subject is really going to help you with your love life right now. Please let me know what you think over on iTunes. I read all of the reviews. They mean so much to me. And now let's get into the episode.
Playfulness in the beginning is your friend. When you don't know someone very well, when you're just kind of testing the waters with each other, trying to figure out how much you like each other. I'm not suggesting that after date one, you send someone a message saying, I didn't hear from you for three days. It made me kind of sad. I do think, however, if someone goes on a first date with you and five days later, they say, what are you up to this weekend? I do think you can be playful about it and be like, I'm, you know, doing this with my friends. I'm not sure about Sunday. By the way, P.S. this message was three days late. You know, like, playfulness is your friend at that stage. And because we're alluding to something serious, which is that In order for me to invest time in someone, I need to know that they like me, which is a serious point. You don't have to be serious in your communication of that point. And that's one of the things that when we lose our confidence, we stop being playful. When you're afraid, I don't know if.
I want to say this because it.
Might turn them off. I don't know if I want to say this because it might be too intense. When we do that, that's actually when we get intense. We start overthinking everything. And then when we overthink, we go, I'm just not going to say anything because I don't want to ruin it because we're having a nice time and I just don't want to screw it up. But what's happening now is you're no longer communicating the things that indicate the kind of relationship you're actually looking for. Most people who are being intentional about wanting to meet someone, they value consistency. Are you actually showing me that you like me? Are you actually making me feel safe in this situation? Or am I constantly second-guessing whether you like me?
